Buthshikan (The Iconoclast) meditates on the role of artists and educators in society. The profound biases and injustice which plague our social worlds are often maintained by uninformed opinions and misguided desires. These, in turn, are rooted in the unconscious submission to false idols of capitalism, patriarchy, and religious bigotry. As seekers of truth artists and teachers access public imagination, they stimulate it with deeper awareness—and thus have been viewed repeatedly as threats to such endemic ideologies.

With his assembly of metaphors the writer, Faraz Ali, seeks the contemporary idiom of a global landscape just as much as he draws on the Urdu literary tradition. The musician Faraz Rizvi has interpreted the poet’s recitation of the verse during a live recording. 

The effort is dedicated to the late Sadaf Chughtai (1979–2021), a designer, educator, and activist.

You Are Mine Lyrics:

i held my breath, and so did you
we’ll be okay i promise you
i’ll sing you home, and be with you
and all the skies will follow through

oh can you see, how i refrain
from letting you in again.
oh can you see, how i feel
i am not whole i am not clean

and now i know that you are mine
and i will follow you through time
and now you know that i am yours
so can it be, like it was before

in my head, there are no faces
just empty walls and empty spaces
when i was true, you did not see
how we were hollow but we were free

oh can you see, how i refrain
from letting you, in again.
oh can you see, how i feel
i am not whole, i am not clean.

and now i know that you are mine
and i will follow you through time
and now you know that i am yours
so can it be, like it was before

save me, stay with me love, be
only mine

and now i know that you are mine
and i will follow you through time
and now you know that i am yours
so can it be, like it was before
